Last year, I wrote a post over on my Photography blog about the fact that I’d found two dozen butterflies in my house during the summer. It was highly unusual but to be fair there were plenty of ways they could have gotten in, not least that the doors were constantly left open for workmen and if they’d been hibernating in the attic there was a huge hole in the garage ceiling through which they could have found their way into the house.

This summer, however, these routes have been closed. Every window has a fly screen so even when open insects can’t get in, all the inside work has finished so there are no tradesmen coming and going, I have fly screens on the patio doors, if I leave the back door open I close the hall door so that no flies come into the house, and having renovated every square inch I know there are no gaps or holes in walls or ceilings through which a butterfly could enter. And, yet, I’ve found 30 butterflies inside my house again this summer 🦋 I have no clue where they’re coming from.

On Friday I had a friend over on whom to practice my mediumship. We had a brew and chatted for an hour before I started the reading, during which nothing untoward happened. However, within minutes of connecting to my ‘other consciousness’ we heard a fluttering sound. A little Painted Lady butterfly was battering against the glass in the lounge window, trying to get out.

No doors had been opened. The windows weren’t open. No lights were on to attract insects. And there had been no signs whatsoever of the butterfly for the previous hour. Its sudden appearance was inexplicable.

My friend opened the window and tried to shoo the butterfly out, but instead it flew further into the room. I, however, was able within seconds to get it to sit on my finger and transport it outside into the fresh air. All of the butterflies have readily let me catch them, some alighting of their own accord on my head or body.

It’s absolutely magical to have created a home and a vibrational energy which attracts these beautiful creatures 😊. I’m still trying to figure out, however, how this particular butterfly magically appeared right at the start of a reading and its significance. The fact that I’ve had so many butterflies in my home is very unusual. They also frequently appear in my meditations and I take note of their colour which has spiritual significance – butterflies have spiritual meaning for many cultures and ancient civilisations I’ve discovered. It’s all a bit of a mystery, but one which is treasured and wonderful.
